I'm restoring a 1959 Series 75 and I'd like to replace some of the lamp sockets.  I'm not concerned if they are exact replacements of the originals, just fit properly.

2 pcs. - Reverse lamp socket (uses 1156 bulb)
2 pcs. - Rear license plate lamp socket (uses 1156 bulb)
2 pcs. - Front turn signal/running lamp socket (uses 1157 bulb)

Thanks for your help!

Will do some checking for you.  In the meantime can you post a picture of this rare bird?

Sockets for 1156/1157 bulbs are common items.  Take samples to your local NAPA store or other favorite auto parts store and they should be able to match them for you.
